With the arrival of cheap flights, many assumed that the camping industry in the UK would bow out — I mean who picks a weekend in a rainy caravan site when they can hop on a plane to sunny Spain.
The caravan and motorhome industry, however, is bouncing back. After the credit-crunch first hit, the number of “staycations” went through the roof. Many people could not afford to jet off abroad and instead looked for ways to have fun whilst staying in the UK — thousands of people were introduced to a camp site for the first time.
In fact, the number of young adults interested in motorhoming has increased dramatically. Insurance company Safeguard, believes that there’s been a rise in demand of over 60% in people aged 20-30.
The reputation of motorhomes and caravans have moved up in the world, with over half a million caravans and motorhomes in use on UK roads.
Of course, campervans never really lost their cool — Scooby Doo used to ride around in one and surfers have always embraced them. If you own one and are looking for campervan insurance, why not look at Quotiva Network, one form can get you multiple quotes.
